Thanks for posting this.  I just sent Brand two session
proposals - one for discussing the available OASIS standards for SOA
and their relevance to eGovernment needs, and the other discussing the
work here at NIH / HSS / NCI and the lessons learned, challenges for
the future.

merrier.

 

There is also an e-mail
